The leaves are blowing on the courtyard lawn Dancing like lovers until they are gone She sits on a bench in the midst of it all Watching them fly and watching them fall I see her from the window of my flat above her Holding a letter, I think, from her lover She sobs as she reads each word on the page Shaking sometimes with little fits of rage My heart goes out to her, she seems so lost Her world is shattered at such a cost And I’d like to tell her she’ll be alright Tell her I’d comfort her through the night But she doesn’t know me, I’m just an observer Watching her plight and wishing to help her She sits a while longer deep in her thoughts I open my window but it’s all for naught She’s walking away and taking her pain Carrying a heart filled with rain She drops the letter that caused her such grief It’s blown away like another leaf. |

Excellent story and write. So many times in our lives do we witness those in pain and are unable to help but hopefully we learn compassion from these experiences. Great poem. |

I wonder if you could post your poem, "Loss" in here please. I love that one, and was the first poem I read of yours. Again, so glad you joined us. We could sure use some of your wonderful work in the "Inspirational" forum as well.  |

Welcome to our humble home. I'm not sure if anyone sent you an Ecard yet with your poem on it so I'm going to do it now. If you get two that's ok....it's nice to read you. I sincerely look forward to reading more from you. Take care.  |

Vivid imagery filled with sympathy and compassion. A little observation can go a long way when inspired and shared... Very nice. Welcome to a very supportive forum. -MVS You CAN make a difference, but first you should learn how: |
